If your XML document references a DTD then the XML parser in general will
need a copy of the DTD. Unless it's clever and can find a cached copy, it
will follow the URI reference and fetch it.
(This is nothing to do with XSLT or Saxon, by the way)
I agree, my plain text editor jEdit also sometimes shows a message to
connect to the Internet to download a DTD. There may be other editors
or IDEs with the same functionality.
I wouldn't be paranoid about it :-)
